On Thursday, July 12, a Hindu chaplain is scheduled to deliver the opening prayer in the U.S. Senate, the first Hindu prayer at the Senate since it formed in 1789. The chaplain says his prayer will be "universal in approach," despite planned references to Hindu religious texts. Since Hindus worship multiple gods, the prayer will be outside the American paradigm and contrary to the American motto, "One Nation Under God." This Hindu chaplain has already prayed this year in the Nevada State Assembly and Nevada State Senate.

Are you questioning why the U.S. government is inviting the invocation of non-monotheistic gods? If so, TAKE ACTION -- call your state senators at 202-224-3121. I did, because I understand this nation was founded on the ONE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN GOD. To "officially" seek other gods to bless our government sessions is to invite the wrath of God Almighty, who judges disobedience to His commandment to have no other gods before Him. Our founding fathers understood this; hopefully, our current leaders will before we sink further into post-Christianity.

I'm not seeking to deny Hindus the right to pray to however many gods they seek to invoke, but it is wrong and dangerous to open the U.S. Senate with prayer other than to the God Who blessed the founding of this nation as ONE NATION UNDER GOD. I pray that we accept His gracious offer: "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" (II Chronicles 7:14).

If a Hindu prayer is voiced in Congress tomorrow, then next week it may be an Islamic prayer! It frightens me to think of praying for Allah's blessings on America, because I remember how our nation was blessed by Allah's messengers on 9/11! Our only hope for America's future is in the God who made our nation great in the past! Only the incredibly confused, willfully misled, spiritually blind, excessively liberal, or historically-challenged can deny the founding of our nation on mono-theistic Judeo-Christian beliefs and values.

When our legislators deny our spiritual and historical roots, it is an offense to God-fearing citizens. Worse however, it is an offense to the God of our founding fathers, the God who made our nation great, and the God before whom we should humble ourselves and to whom we should pray. I believe that if we turn from our wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven and will forgive our sin and heal our land. But How shall He hear if the prayer is voiced to multiple Hindu gods?
